Racing with time
In London, Lauriel was furious when he was told that Aleksis collapsed and had not regained consciousness after several hours. He kicked the table that stood in the middle of the penthouse where he and Caspar were resting before meeting Marion. The wooden table was split into two because of his fury.
"Now I know what poison they gave Aleksis... It must be a certain virus that incubates in 11 days. They tricked me when they said it would take effect after 2 weeks." His face was red with anger. "I think, I can help her with a special potion until Aldebar finds the vaccine... But now it's too late to look for the ingredients."
"What do you need? I can mobilize hundreds of people around the world to find whatever ingredient you need... We still have time..." Caspar said quickly. "I want us to try everything..."
Lauriel tapped his fingers on his chair. He was deep in thought. A moment later he typed something on his cellphone and sent an email to Caspar.
